"A Light Can Go Out In The Heart" lyrics

"A Light Can Go Out In The Heart"

I'm left with my last drop
I know I'll leave you with scars
In the face of even cancer
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart

Some decades we mastered
Some of their birthdays were duds
We never found that magic marker
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart

You and I were the glass knot
All twisted heat in the sun
It wasn't love, it wasn't madness
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart

A race that's too close to judge, now
At a pace that ain't fun
Now your life has no particular reason
And love is the happiest loser
It's still painful to watch it run
Run away

Such beautiful roses
So many graves left to fill
But those couldn't fool us
Sometimes a light can go out in the heart
Even still, a light can go out in the heart
